The Airbus A350 Is Known As The World’s Extra Widebody, But Soon It Won’t Be

With the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 programs terminated and there being a hiatus in Boeing 777 passenger jet deliveries, the Airbus A350 XWB is currently the widest passenger aircraft in production. But this is not set to last, as the Boeing 777X will be over a foot wider than the Airbus A350 when it (eventually) launches. The Boeing 777-9 will be wider and longer (251 feet 9 inches vs 242 feet and 1 inch) and will come with more powerful engines.
